## About

A holiday crafting afternoon at Old World Wisconsin meant for the whole family. Choose from several make-and-take projects: a miniature version of the famous Wisconsin Evergleam tinsel tree, cut and folded 3D paper snowflakes and stars, and holiday banners and ornaments. Cider, hot cocoa and sweet treats are served while you work. Pricing is set by age group and children under five are free, so it works for young kids, teens and grandparents together.
